Buing an @ifixit.com kit looks cheap at first, but there's a hidden cost: None of the devices I open work afterwards 😬

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...
Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked
The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

everything is a bytecode-targetable virtual machine if you look at it sideways. JBIG2 image decompression? virtual machine. x86 mov instruction? virtual machine. truetype fonts? virtual machine. Magic: The Gathering? believe it or not, also virtual machine.

back in 2022 i found a bug that would let me, with no user interaction, turn any chromium-based browser into a permanent js botnet member in edge, you wouldn't even notice anything out-of-place, and would stay connected to the c2 even after closing the browser
I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
the bun is now rusty, I repeat, the bun has been rusted: github.com/oven-sh/bun/...
Rewrite Bun in Rust by Jarred-Sumner · Pull Request #30412 · oven-sh/bun
Blog post with details coming soon. Still some optimization work to do before this lands in non-canary version. Still some cleanup work to do (which will come in a series of follow-up PRs)

Cool stuff, #go fuzzer powered by #LibAFL blog.trailofbits.com/2026/05/12/g...
Go fuzzing was missing half the toolkit. We forked the toolchain to fix it.
We built gosentry, a fuzzing-oriented fork of the Go toolchain that keeps the standard fuzzing workflow while using a stronger stack underneath.

This paper finds that Rust on an microcontroller costs you about 10% extra flash space, actually saves you a bunch of RAM, and takes no extra time to deliver (as compared to C). Seems about right - especially as the C version needed a heap and the Rust version did not. arxiv.org/pdf/2604.25679

LLMs are likely going to be the mediating lens through which large swathes of the population make sense of the world around them on political issues, & it's very bad that a man who has a strong case for being one of the worst people alive is one of the few to be actively trying to exploit this
Don't you just love it when your Agent announces everything works and then lists the six or seven failures it found and ignored..
AI is not going to flood you with real vuln reports unless you have a ton of real vulns. Adding resources to a vuln disclosure process to keep up with triage & bug fixing is a temporary investment at the loud end of the problem, not the right end.

The fuzzer that found project-zero.issues.chromium.org/issues?q=com... (and a number of issues prior to that as well) is now open-source: crrev.com/c/7580844 It uses pkeys, trap-handling and single-stepping to intercept and mutate in-sandbox reads (see trap-fuzzer.h). Definitely had fun writing it!

i got irritated at the ceremony to go from a freshly-created KVM to "can run x86-64 machine code like normal" so i've wrote a small library for exactly that: codeberg.org/iximeow/asml...

just enough glue on top of KVM to get a VM with one CPU set up to execute `x86_64` instructions.
